You're looking at this from the wrong perspective :scratch:.
First he made the pipe outta' the bolt,then made the cylinder outta' the pipe that used to be a bolt,and next he's gonna' make the con rod from a nail that was made from recycled con rods .....See,it's all completely logical ,and no madness involved in it at all :lol: :lol:.....OZ.

None of the bits of pipe I had smiled at me - or to put it another way I didn't have anything that looked like a piston that size.
I did wonder at one stage whether I could make the whole engine out of the bolt. :loco: :loco:

Personally,I think you should flatten the bolt in a forge and anvil, and then roll it into a pipe and squish that in the vise to make the nail for the con rod, then Bob's yer uncle!
Why do people insist on doing things the hard way? :)

I changed my mind and split the case (after figuring out how I could do that), so then I could braze the crank together outside of the engine. Done. I grooved the piston, but haven't drilled for the wrist pin yet. I did a little clearance work with files and die grinder, but it didn't require much for the big ends to clear the base of the cylinder. And it looks like the piston just makes it to the top of the cylinder at TDC, so I've lucked out in the proportions guessing game. Current state before cleaning up the crankshaft after brazing, and moving on to head and valve:
